The Symposium will bring together specialists working in the area of
Carbon dynamics across ecosystems of Mexico to discuss state-of-theart findings and future research topics. The Symposium will focus on
cross-cutting priority themes on Carbon research in Mexico: carbon
fluxes between the ocean and continent, implementation strategies for
Reducing Carbon Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation
(REDD+), relationships between biodiversity and the carbon cycle,
emissions and removals of carbon at multiple scales, governance-related
public-information policies, scientific knowledge related to the carbon
economy, gender and rural landscapes, competitive and low carbon
development strategies, modeling and synthesis of carbon dynamics,
horizontal and vertical flows in the vegetation-atmosphere interface.
We also welcome presentations related to the carbon cycle in the major
